Not exactly. The clutch will always lock about 1/2" of pedal stroke before the top. This is because the clutch locks when the master cylinder is just about fully extended in its bore and just before the transfer port opens that allows fluid to circulate between the pressure side and the reservoir. That allows for a small amount of takeup travel between the throw out bearing and the face of the clutch diaphragm so the TOB isn't turning except when the clutch is being pressed.

There is no way to increase the amount of stroke the master cylinder has before it starts pushing the TOB into the diaphragm except to open up the transmission and physically increase the distance between the TOB and the clutch face by removing shims or somehow getting a shorter TOB to increase the inital takeup gap.

Here is what you CAN do.
The AFP setting directly controls the width of the engagement zone between the friction point and fully locked so you can shorten or widen the entire stroke how ever you like.

AFP Setting works like this:
0% - Dead, Friction--Locked ( Low Friction Point, Short Stroke, Short Engagement like stock)
25% - Dead, Friction------Locked
50% - Dead, Friction----------Locked
75% - Dead, Friction--------------Locked (Recomended initial setup. Low friction point, Shorter stroke then stock, Nice engagement feel on most clutches)
100%- Dead, Friction------------------Locked (Low Friction point, Stock Like Long Pedal Stroke, Widest Engagement zone)

All of the above shows only adjusting a single variable which is the AFP adjuster knob. Adjusting the friction point height as well allows for an almost infinite number of possible combinations of friction height, engagement width and total stroke travel.

That is also why it works to improve the drivability of stock clutches all the way up to even the most severe Triple disk setups. The wide range of adjustment allows every driver to find their own sweet spot for their car and clutch combination. If at first you don't like it then a whole new clutch feel is only a few adjustments away. The power to adjust the feel and characteristics of the clutch engagement in this way is a very powerful tool and changes the entire feel of the car in a very possitive way :tup:

Just ordered one! The website said out of stock until Jan 21st - is that still an accurate ship date?

Thanks!

I installed this pedal back in July. It has really changed the whole car experience. It's a great product!

ENT-Z Thank you for your order. Yes, I'm expecting to have more 370Z pedal assemblies fabricated and ready to ship on or around the 21st. If anything changes I'll keep you posted but as of right now that is an accurate date :tup:

Stino - Very happy to hear you're enjoying the RJM driving experiance :driving:

Any updates? Thanks!

Also need to know if any are avaiable

ENT-Z Yes, I'm just taping up your box right now and will be shipping out first thing tomorrow morning. I'll shoot you the tracking number email shortly. It's been a long week of late nights to get all the back-ordered pedal assemblies fabricated, painted, packaged and shipped out but things are finally getting back on track now.

Chewy08753 Yes, now that the last of the back ordered pedal assemblies are done & shipping I'm back to building pedal assemblies for regular stock again and I've got parts on hand for 10 more pedal assemblies this week. If you or anyone else would like to grab one I can have 2 or 3 assemblies completed and ready to ship by Wednesday this week.

Thanks
Ryan

Awesome I'll you some money's ASAP :)

Sounds good. I'll be starting get these fabricated up later today.

thanks,
Ryan

Woohoo. Hope it's been worth the wait. Seems to be, judging from the reviews.

payment sent bud I swear a day ago it was free shipping but whatever lol

Chewy Thanks, Order Received:tup:

You're right there was still a free shipping promotion on both the 370Z and 350Z pedals the other day that ended with the return of regular stock again. The plan was always to drop the free shipping after the holidays but since stock was limited and people were gracious enough to pre-order kits towards future production I allowed the free shipping to remain as a perk for everyone who pre-ordered their 370Z pedals in the month of January.

This was just changed last night when I spent several hours working to update and overhaul the look of the webstore a little. Unfortunately due to the rising cost to manufacture these pedal assemblies and increases in the cost of shipping I'm no longer able to keep the free shipping. Instead I've gone to a flat rate $15.00 to anywhere in Canada or USA to help offset the shipping costs. My cost on the Expedited shipments with Tracking from Canada to the USA for a single 370Z pedal are now nearing 25.00+taxes on average and even higher to certain states.


All that said check your account as I had always planned to extend you the free shipping since we'd discussed your order prior to the change and have already refunded the shipping charge.

Your pedal assembly will be shipping out Friday as several other the370Z members scooped up the 3 units I had ready for stock yesterday.

Cheers:driving:

Wow awesome Ryan and the website does look better :)

Thanks, it still needs more work but its a start:tup:

Scoop these up guys!!!!

:iagree:

It's a quality piece of kit. Very well made, good instructions, simple to install.

Just got my kit today. Woohoo! Just no instructions included. :(

There is a huge and very detailed installation guide with multiple pictures outlining key points for every step. Its posted on the website as well you should have received a full PDF copy of the guide with your tracking number email I sent to your Paypal email address on Jan 22nd.

I'll forward it again to your email here in a minute or two:tup:

If I sent a printed copy it would probably weigh more then the clutch pedal;)

Yes, after I posted that, it occurred to me that would be the case. Nowadays, I check manufacturer websites for firmware updates and instruction manuals for all my stuff so it's not like I was inconvenienced.

I'm still pretty amazed by the quality of the kit and the hardware. Even the paint smelled recent, not that I'm into sniffing stuff.

Glad to hear you like the craftsmanship and engineering that goes into each of these pedal assemblies. I have a supplier that cuts all the raw steel shapes on a CNC laser for me and then I do all the rest of the fabrication and machine work myself at my workshop.... That is when I'm not at my full time day job as a Mechanical Engineer. The way I was working last week to get all the 350Z & 370Z pedal assemblies completed I can tell you the parts didn't hang in the paint booth very long before they were assembled with the hardware and immediately boxed up. I can imagine it still has that new paint smell:tup:

Oh, haha I should probably update my info. I'm no longer in Guam. I'm stationed in Utah now. Shipping to zip code 84404.

Oh, no worries then. It'll just ship flat rate $15 for Expedited 4-7 day shipping to anywhere in USA or Canada with full tracking and insured.
